Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri has announced the start of the last schedule of his upcoming film, based on true events, ‘The Vaccine War,’ amid speculation that the film’s release date has been altered from August 15 to October 24 this year, which happens to be Dussehra.
The film is now being shot at a secret location, according to a source.
Agnihotri on Saturday shared a few glimpses from the shoot of the last schedule on Twitter and posted: “With the blessings of Maa Saraswati, beginning last schedule of #TheVaccineWar.”
Taran Adarsh wrote on Twitter that Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri and his producer-wife Pallavi Joshi “are currently giving finishing touches to The Vaccine War. A few days shoot is yet to be executed.”
Adarsh tweeted: “VIVEK AGNIHOTRI SHIFTS ‘THE VACCINE WAR’ TO DUSSEHRA 2023. #TheVaccineWar – which was scheduled for release this #IndependenceDay weekend – will now arrive in *cinemas* on #Dussehra2023, it is learnt from reliable sources.”
He added: “After the #Blockbuster run of #TheKashmirFiles, #VivekRanjanAgnihotri and his producer-wife #PallaviJoshi are currently giving finishing touches to #TheVaccineWar. A few days shoot is yet to be executed, besides the duo have plans of organising pre-release screenings of the film in #USA (TheKashmirFiles also followed the same strategy], before it hits the *cinemas) in #Indiaa That explains the shift to #Dussehra2023.”
Talking about the film, a source said: “Currently, ‘The Vaccine War’ is being shot in a secret location with Nana Patekar, Sapthami Gowda and the rest of the star cast. There is a strict no-phone policy on sets for one week so that nothing gets leaked.”
Though not much about the film has been revealed, the title indicates a lot about the film’s topic. The film would most likely “open certain chapters about Indian bio-scientists and indigenous vaccines,” according to the source.
The film will also pay tribute to the medical community’s and scientists’ efforts during the uncertain periods of the Covid-19 outbreak.
